2001 vintage. Nice fill. Dreamy cork. Decanted with slightly less than expected sediment and tasted after 30 mins and one hour. Maan…miss these old-styled Spottswoode Cabs before the body/power got amped up a touch. Delicate, yet substantial in their house offering ways of yore. No rush to crush. Big Napa vintage but little pomp and circumstance here. All steak if you know how to eat this properly. 10.11.26.

A real treat. Got it a few years past its prime but still very enjoyable. Held up well. Fruit and acidity in balance and rounded out by soft tannins and lingering baked/stewed fruits.

Premiere Napa Valley, 100% Cabernet. Beautiful, in such a great place. Fresh, juicy with rose potpourri, beautiful dried California herbs. Exceptional. Wow!
